I've bought stuff off Ali Express before without any problems in the past But I've just seen a "copy" that sells at £250 from source for just £43. I know it's too good to be true, but it's got to be worth a punt. My question is, has anyone had any bad experiences with Ali Express lately or...

Yep I have one on my Bat Fastard I'ts brilliant and very well built, you don't notice it when it's not loaded, but because you need a torque wrench to get the straps at the right tension I CBA's taking it off and putting it back on again, so it lives on the bike full time now. When packed I use 2 x ...

Not seen it.

Is this the one on Amazon and if so which "season" are you watching?
Season 10 looks to be the latest

It'll look fine once you are on the watter. Plus there is something to be said for having a raft that is fairly visible...
